Poor Mads. His Pack ‘n Play mobile just bit the dust.
For the past week, the music box inside the mobile has been losing notes and playing in the wrong key. This morning, in an attempt to salvage the mobile, I took out the metal keys in the music box. His bears still move, but they don’t sing. Instead, I play iTunes and hope he doesn’t mind. We’re testing it out as I type this.
I have to admit, if this works, it will be a relief. We’ve been listening to a constant stream of Rock A Bye Baby, which is not really a musical masterpiece even when it’s on key. Also, the lyrics are terrible.
Cross your fingers – I just peeked, and it looks like replacing Rock A Bye Baby with Portishead is acceptable for nap time. Now I’m going to eat breakfast and try to catch some sleep. Last night, Mads slept for a record 5 hours, but unfortunately, I was up for half of that. And, this morning, Mads decided to get up to say goodbye to Dad, so he had playtime at 6:30 and ate breakfast at 7:00.
Uh, oh it looks like Better than Ezra is not going over as well as Portishead. Excuse me, I’m off to wind the silent (but hopefully still entertaining) Bear Parade!
More for the photo-junkies: Here’s Mads’ in his Papasan for the last time – I thought the dangling bunny might be interesting now that he can swat at it, but unfortunately, Mads prefers manually bouncing (i.e. Dad) and doesn’t actually fit in the Papasan anymore.
